The First Time 2012

Dave and Aubrey’s unexpected connection begins on a Friday night in an alley outside a party, where Dave seeks advice about his crush, Jane. As tension mounts with the arrival of the police, the two evade the chaos and head to Aubrey’s home. Once there, Aubrey asks Dave a bold question regarding his sexual experiences, which he answers honestly. However, when he turns the question back on her, she deflects, leaving a veil of mystery. They share a cozy moment, drifting off to sleep, but in the morning, Dave makes a hurried exit through her window.

Later, while chatting with his friends, Simon and Big Corporation, about Aubrey, they speculate that she must be lying about having a boyfriend. However, Dave soon realizes he doesn’t have her number, prompting them to contact a resourceful friend who provides him with Aubrey’s home number. When he calls, she mentions plans with her boyfriend Ronny, forcing Dave to concoct a tale about hanging out with his friends.

At the cinema, fate intertwines their paths as Dave encounters Jane, unveiling that they are watching the same film. A surprise introduction to Ronny brings an unforeseen twist, leading to an emotional lobby conversation where Aubrey apologizes for her earlier rude behavior. Tension melts away when Dave secures her cell number, inviting both Aubrey and Ronny to a gathering at Brianna’s place.

At the party, a conversation between Aubrey and Jane reveals the depth of Dave’s feelings for Jane, yet Aubrey tentatively suggests she might like him too. Just as romance begins to bloom, Ronny declares his intentions to take Aubrey out that night, igniting worry in Dave. He pleads with Aubrey to reconsider, believing that she deserves more than someone like Ronny. As they edge closer to a kiss, their moment is interrupted by Ronny’s urgent call to leave. Following a brief skirmish, Ronny whisked Aubrey away, leaving Dave alone with his newfound feelings.

As the night unfolds, Jane engages Dave in conversation about her relationships, ultimately making him realize that he can’t stop thinking about Aubrey. Just as he processes this, Aubrey sends him a text asking for a ride. During their drive, she confesses she broke things off with Ronny, and they share a kiss, solidifying their emotional bond.

The following night presents another pivotal moment when Aubrey’s parents are out, leading her to invite Dave over. Although he briefly considers bringing a condom, he arrives with the intention of simply enjoying their time together. As they kiss, Dave hesitates, worried about ruining the magic of their weekend. Together, they discuss the merits of abstaining but soon find themselves giving in to temptation. However, their first experience is far from perfect, leaving them both uncertain of where they stand.

In the days that follow, seeking advice from Simon and Big Corporation proves unhelpful as Simon encourages him to move on. In contrast, Big Corporation urges Dave to embrace challenges. Undeterred, he visits Aubrey the next day, declaring he wants a real relationship despite the previous night’s complications. As they arrive at school together, Aubrey surprises Dave by running back to plant a kiss on him, triumphantly bridging the gap between uncertainty and romance.
